The marketing has begun for Ubuntu Apps. Ubuntu Apps is being marketing differently from most other books. Rather than going through a publisher and having them provide much of the marketing, I’ve chosen to self-publish and do the hard work myself.

The main part of the marketing is going to be using social networks to make others aware of the book.  Using Facebook, social storywriting sites and bookmark sites will help to get the message out.

Word of mouth will help also and that is why the e-book is being given away for free. This should help the word of mouth effect. Without this,  it is just another book or ebook that costs $$. By giving the e-book away, the word of mouth effect should take off and many will download it. Those that like it will purchase the print book which is my main goal.
